Sartel AM 80 Tablet

Sartel AM 80 Tablet is a combination medicine used to control high blood pressure (hypertension). It helps relax and widen blood vessels so that blood flows more easily, which reduces the strain on the heart. By keeping blood pressure under control, it helps prevent heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems.

This tablet contains two active ingredients — Telmisartan (an angiotensin II receptor blocker) and Amlodipine (a calcium channel blocker). Together, they provide better and longer-lasting blood pressure control than either medicine alone.

You can take this medicine with or without food, preferably at the same time every day. Continue taking it even if you feel fine, as high blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms. Stopping the medicine suddenly may increase your blood pressure again.

Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, reducing salt intake, eating a balanced diet, avoiding smoking and alcohol, and maintaining a healthy weight can greatly enhance the benefits of this treatment.

Benefits of Sartel AM 80 Tablet
